Blood bowl 2 news3/27/2023 ![]() However, on the positive, it’s now ensuring that it does stack up, cage, and force block targets into the crowd reliably, as well as use secret weapons without wrecking their own team in the process, so hey! The AI is certainly enough to give you an acceptable run for the money now. Suffice to say the AI now puts up a much more respectable fight, though once again the AI is still making some wonderfully silly decisions such as blitzing a target who the blitzer is right next to, or not targeting the ball carrier even when the runner is within TD distance. Having Khorne return would add another genuinely interesting team back in.Īs for the gameplay, my focus is on the single-player side, not the multiplayer (as yet) since that would take too long to get a proper handle on within the scope of this review. Kislev is -by far- the more interesting of the two with a far more tricky playstyle and a need for good positioning and off-ball play determining the ability to succeed, the Bretonnians function as a “slightly different” human team with lots of Wrestle thrown in to help cover for their linemen being a bit below par. The rest of the audio is “forgettable” and if there’s anywhere where Cyanide could also pour a bit more into the budget for a final expansion to complete the BB2 experience, the sound is one of the areas I’d suggest more investment in.Īs for the teams themselves, the twenty-two that carries over from BB1CE are carbon copies or very close matches so there’s really little to add there, the two “Original” teams we see in BB2 are the Bretonnians (Nobles and Peasants) and Kislev (A cross between Norse and a Circus act). Generally, there are a few racial specific speeches, some race “pair” speeches at the start, and a handful of more generic speeches and you will have heard the lot within a dozen games and by the second dozen, you’ll be considering muting the commentators. The additional stadium (suitable for eastern flavoured teams such as the Khemri) is a welcome addition, along with Orc Cheerleaders (which is an image I will never be able to unsee) again adds welcome variety, we could benefit from Undead Cheerleaders, Elf Cheerleaders, and Dwarf Cheerleaders along with a Daemonic Stadium and a Tribal/Norse/Amazonian Stadium to give us enough variety that teams do not feel quite so indistinct though.Ī less welcome return is the commentary which still remains very shallow and is missing a lot of variety and depth that would be expected from sports games as a whole. ![]() ![]() The stadiums, the players, and everything in between have had a welcome coat of spit and shine that has ensured that the game should remain relevant for some time to come. The twenty-two other teams are represented in their full glory from Chaos Edition (sans the visual changes as they level, again, one of those other omissions that could do with a content fix in the future) and the bump in visual fidelity from the first game is a welcome addition. ![]()

Alan braid3/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() 8 says that ‘any person’ can sue over a violation, and we are starting to see that happen, including by out-of-state claimants,” Hearron said. “If the state of Texas decided it’s going to give a $10,000 bounty, why shouldn’t I get that 10,000 bounty?” he said.īraid hasn’t commented on the suit, but Marc Hearron of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which represents Braid’s clinics, told the Post the suit suggests that there will be more. Plaintiffs who win in court can receive bounties of at least $10,000, and Stilley admits he wouldn’t mind the cash. Braid noted that his career began with an obstetrics and gynecology residency at a San Antonio hospital on July 1, 1972, just before Roe v. The new law skirts judicial scrutiny by letting people file civil lawsuits against abortion practitioners and anyone who “aids” in an illegal abortion. “If the law is no good, why should we have to go through a long, drawn-out process to find out if it’s garbage?” Stilley told the Post after filing the complaint in state court in Bexar County, where San Antonio is located. Alan Braid, a physician in San Antonio, Texas. Oscar Stilley, a former lawyer convicted of tax fraud in 2010 and serving a 15-year sentence on home confinement, told the paper that, though he is not personally opposed to abortion, he thinks the measure should be subject to judicial review. I acted because I had a duty of care to this patient, as I do for all patients, and because she has a fundamental right to receive this care, Dr. Now it looks like Braid will get to say more: An Arkansas man filed a lawsuit against him on Monday, according to The Washington Post. The doctor’s goal, besides a “duty of care” to his patient, was to “ make sure that Texas didn’t get away with its bid to prevent this blatantly unconstitutional law from being tested,” he wrote in an essay published Saturday in The Washington Post. In an opinion essay published in The Washington Post under the headline Why I violated Texas’s extreme abortion ban, the doctor, Alan Braid, who has been performing abortions for more than. Alan Braid wrote an essay published Saturday in The Washington Post in which he said he’d performed the abortion on the woman earlier this month, despite the state law that now bans abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy. Alan Braid, an OB/GYN physician, said he did the procedure while treating a woman at his San Antonio clinic on September 6 - five days after the restrictive new law known as SB8 went into effect. A San Antonio doctor who admitted defying Texas’ new abortion law by performing the procedure on a woman who was more than six weeks pregnant may have to defend his decision in court.ĭr. ![]()

Excentro guilloche3/27/2023 ![]() The UI is a little palette-heavy (it can feel a bit crowded) but is perfectly usable and extraordinarily powerful. The guilloches are vintage design elements that were frequently used for anti-counterfeiting security purposes on banknotes, passports, checks and certificates during the past two hundred years. The guilloches are vintage design elements that were frequently used for. Note 2 (27th August 2010): I have since bought Excentro and have used it on several projects, including this one for Wired, and I can confirm it is an excellent tool. Excentro is a simple but advanced tool that can create guilloche designs like backgrounds, borders or rosettes. Excentro is a simple but advanced tool that can create guilloche designs like backgrounds, borders or rosettes. I played a bit with Excentro and it certainly makes some things a hell of a lot easier - but I’ll hold off buying it for now until I’ve got an actual project I can use it for. Free Download and information on Excentro - Excentro is small and simple tool that allows computer artists to create Guilloche designs on Macintosh computer. Note: Excentro 1 9 12 – Create Guilloche Illustration Designs For Beginners I know there are programs devoted to creating these patterns - Excentro being apparently one of the most popular, but I’d rather use the software tools I already own first. Now I just need to find the magic numbers to create just the right patterns I want. Still, after all this, I can still get the patterns made, and get them into an image editing program, which is quite something. Guilloches (bands of thin intertwining lines like ones you can see on banknotes) were traditionally used for security printing as a protection against counterfeit and forgery. Excentro is a simple tool that allows computer artist create Guilloche designs in comfortable environment of Macintosh computer.Illustration of design, elegance, luxury - 79104475. Illustration about Set of Guilloche decorative elements.The process took ages and served just to prove to me that I could do it, but the results were too poor to go much further. So off I went, using the hypotrochoid equations on Mathworld to create rather rough and ready patterns - scripting at this point didn’t have a very usable set of functions for creating beziers, so I had to use crummy line segments. The exc file extension is associated with the Excentro, a tool for Apple Mac computers that can create guilloche designs like backgrounds, borders. I do, however, have a computer, and at the point I first started playing with the designs (mid-2004) Illustrator and Photoshop had gained the ability to be scripted. The mathematical process attracted me immediately as I don’t have a geometric lathe and nor do I have anywhere to put one. Central to banknote designs are Guilloche patterns, which can be created mechanically with a geometric lathe, or more likely these days, mathematically. I can get lost for hours in all the details, seeing how the patterns fit together, how the lettering works, the tiny security ‘flaws’ - they’re amazing. ![]()

Oxygen xml editor args.filter3/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Therefore, ARGs and ARB in treated wastewater can continue to proliferate via horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and vertical gene transfer when discharged into receiving environments.Īnalyses of sediment microbial communities near outfall sites of WWTPs have detected similar patterns of ARGs and gene classes as those in WWTP effluents ( Chu, et al., 2018). Studies on the effluent quality of conventional WWTPs have reported incomplete removal of both ARGs and ARB ( McConnell, et al., 2018, Quach-Cu, et al., 2018). With growing awareness of antibiotic resistance, numerous studies have identified WWTPs as hot spots for the propagation of ARGs and ARB ( Bouki, et al., 2013, Michael, et al., 2013). While conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are effective at managing organics and nutrients, they are not designed or operated to treat emerging contaminants like antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB). Current projections estimate that the yearly worldwide deaths related to antibiotic resistance will reach 10 million by the year 2050 ( O’Neil, 2014). Approximately 2 million clinical cases and 23,000 deaths related to antibiotic resistant infections occur annually in the US ( Frieden, 2013). The global spread of antibiotic resistance continues to be a grave threat to human health ( Chioro, et al., 2015). Our findings suggest that exARGs located on small plasmids are preferentially taken up by cells under antibiotic pressure compared to large plasmids, which implies heterogenous HGT mechanisms among the plasmid community. ![]() This study specifically investigates the abundance of targeted iARGs and exARGs in AnMBRs in response to antibiotic pressure to quantify potential exchange of ARGs between intracellular and extracellular compartments. Further, almost no research has differentiated between iARGs and exARGs in anaerobic processes, which are being considered to replace aerobic activated sludge processes. While previous studies quantified iARGs and exARGs in wastewater treatment facilities, they did not evaluate temporal changes between the two forms. However, recent studies have detected high abundances of exARGs, implying that transformation may play a greater role in dissemination. Currently, conjugation is considered to be the dominant mechanism during wastewater treatment. Importance Antibiotic resistance dissemination is facilitated through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of ARGs. Comparison of the iARG and exARG abundance profiles showed a potential bias for exARG uptake located on small plasmids compared to large plasmids. Quantification of targeted genes revealed an overall enrichment of intracellular ARGs (iARGs) and depletion of extracellular (exARGs) in response to antibiotics addition, which suggests exARG uptake as a significant mode of horizontal gene transfer in AnMBR effluents. ![]() ![]() This study elucidates the effect of combined antibiotics loading (ampicillin, erythromycin, and sulfamethoxazole) on the abundance of intracellular and extracellular ARGs in an AnMBR effluent over a period of five weeks. While size exclusion is effective at retaining ARB and its associated intracellular ARGs, the abundance and fate of extracellular ARGs in an AnMBR effluent have not been examined. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) are an emerging wastewater treatment technology capable of reducing the total ARGs and ARB load discharged to receiving environments compared to conventional aerobic treatment processes. The growing practice of wastewater reuse poses a significant risk to further dissemination of antibiotic resistance due to the abundance of antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in wastewater effluents. ![]()

The world after ww23/26/2023 ![]() ![]() For instance, whilst famines are often triggered by conflicts, many factors contribute to their onset and severity, such as the level of sanitation or the transportation infrastructure present.īrecke does not attempt to provide a clear-cut definition, and this conceptual boundary has been largely dictated by the available primary sources he used in each estimate. While indirect deaths represent a substantial proportion of the social costs of conflict, there is a conceptual difficulty in drawing a consistent boundary between indirect deaths attributable to the conflict and those due to other factors. Peter Brecke, the author of the dataset, however acknowledges that the degree to which this is in fact achieved varies considerably across conflicts. The Conflict Catalog series (running to 2000 only) tries to include indirect deaths of both the military and civilian populations. The Correlates of War series includes military personnel that died from diseases ‘contracted in the war theatre’. The UCDP and IHME data include only direct deaths. But historically, such indirect deaths were also a major cause of military fatalities. This is particularly true where conflicts lead to famine or outbreaks of disease among the civilian population. In addition to those deaths caused directly by violence – for instance those from gunshot or explosions – a significant proportion of lives lost in conflict are indirect: due to disease, starvation or exposure. As we would expect then, the Correlates of War figures are generally lower than the others. ![]() The Correlates of War series aims to include only deaths of military personnel, whereas the other sources capture – at least to some extent – civilian deaths too. If you hover over the datapoints, you can see the exact figures: the highest figure for a given year is typically well more than double the lowest. ![]() If you look closely, you’ll see that there are large relative differences between the series over the entire period as well, though they are understated by the 1994 peak. Most noticeably, there is a large jump in 1994 – marking the Rwandan genocide – which is present in some series, but absent from others. Overall they show a decline in conflict deaths into the 2000s, followed by an increase in the 2010s. You see in the chart that there are certainly similarities across the different sources. We’ve summarised more information about the data sources and how we handled them to produce the chart above in a document, World conflict deaths since 1989: Notes on five sources. (We show the data for these categories separately here). ![]() The ‘UCDP all’ series is an aggregation of the deaths recorded in each of the three categories of conflict used by Uppsala Conflict Data Program: state-based conflict, non-state conflict and one-sided violence. Here we show the world conflict death rate since 1989 according to five sources. They say a transition to green energy should not come at the expense of Indigenous rights.Norway's supreme court ruled in 2021 that the turbines, erected on two wind farms at Fosen and part of Europe's largest onshore wind power complex, violated Sami rights under international conventions, but they remain in operation more than 16 months later.The demonstrators have in recent days blocked access to some government buildings, putting the center-left minority government in a crisis mode.On Wednesday (March 1) Thunberg was lifted and carried away by police officers from the finance ministry but was released along with other protesters who had also been detained.The president of Norway's Sami parliament, an elected consultative body, will meet with the energy minister later on Thursday and demand an apology before discussing a solution, Silje Karine Mutoka told Reuters on Wednesday.To answer the question of how many people die in conflicts today, and how this has changed over time, we can turn to a number of different datasets. STORY: Thunberg had on Monday (February 27) joined protesters demanding the removal of 151 wind turbines from reindeer pastures used by Sami herders in central Norway. ![]() |
