Neo definition1/5/2024 “The number one priority of the comptroller’s office should be protecting and advocating for Maryland taxpayers, not playing politics,” he said. Brooke Lierman.Īsked about Cox’s victory, Glassman in an interview said he was “evaluating everything and taking a deep breath as everything becomes final here.” But his office then released a statement in which Glassman said he will be not be making endorsements - even within his own party. The Republican candidate for comptroller, Harford County Executive Barry Glassman, signaled that he intends to focus on his Democratic opponent, Del. And Democrats made it clear that they will tar Cox loudly and often, to make it harder for him to make inroads with centrist voters. The process for counting more than 200,000 mail-in ballots is expected to last several weeks, but the political world appeared convinced on Wednesday that the race in November will feature Moore and Cox. He said on Tuesday he will not declare victory until all votes have been counted. Wes Moore (D), the former foundation executive who is sitting atop the Democratic primary field following the tabulation of election day and early-voting ballots, refrained from comment. The Defend Democracy Project, a non-profit seeking to defend American democracy, also labeled Cox a “far-right conspiracy theorist” in a news release. Schulz appears at a campaign event, calling her former rival “a lying conspiracy theorist.” The ad uses the “whack job” clip from a 2021 State House press conference and another in which the governor refers to him as “this crazy guy” - someone he would “not support in any way for anything.” The Democratic Governors Association posted an online ad on Wednesday that consists largely of video clips in which Hogan and Schulz bluntly tear into Cox. “They’ve succumbed to the ultra-ignorant QAnon, MAGA wing of their party.” “They’ve come out from hiding behind their governor’s façade, pretending to be a moderate party, and they’ve chugged the QAnon Kool-Aid,” the statement read. The Maryland Democratic Party issued a statement accusing the state GOP of showing “its true colors.” “This extreme ticket is wrong for Maryland,” he tweeted. Luedtke faulted Michael Peroutka, the GOP’s apparent nominee for attorney general, for his ties to “a neo-confederate group.” House Majority Leader Eric Luedtke (D-Montgomery) accused Republicans of nominating “their most extreme ticket ever,” noting that Cox organized buses for Trump supporters to the U.S. (R) famously put it, a “QAnon whack job.”Īt the same time, a high-profile Republican seeking statewide office signaled that he intends to keep his distance from his party’s nominee. Dan Cox declared victory over former state Commerce Secretary Kelly Schulz in the Republican gubernatorial primary, Democrats and their allies rushed to define the GOP nominee as an ideological extremist in the mold of Donald Trump. Dan Cox (R-Frederick) meets the press at his victory party in Emmitsburg Tuesday evening. for our enemies (the Iraqis), are traitors and should be executed as such.Del. Without exaggeration, neocons, that believe in theft of American livelihoods, and the subsequent spending of said earnings on elections, public services, building schools etc. Giving aid and comfort to enemies constitutes treason as clearly defined by the Constitution. “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” –The Constitution The Iraqi general public are enemies (and hate Americans so much they want us to die in a fire - polls show more than 85% of Iraqis supported the 9/11 attacks). Neocons believe in forcibly seizing the livelihood of Americans, under threat of abduction and imprisonment by the IRS, and the transfer of said earnings to foreigners, for instance, residents of the fanatically Islamic anti-American terror-state of Iraq-a nation in which more than 85% of the general public supported 9/11.

Evoland 2 fragment of time1/5/2024 As someone who enjoyed the turn based combat more than the real time in Evoland this was a disappointing move. They removed turn based combat entirely from Evoland 2 in favour of just having real time combat. That is sadly where my praise of it as the better of the two ends because it found ways to take two steps back in other directions. The story has more depth the game is longer and it feels more like a full game. The story has more depth the One of my main complaints about Evoland was that it felt too short and rushed. One of my main complaints about Evoland was that it felt too short and rushed. It's a quaint idea, but its execution leaves a lot to be desired. TL DR The games alright if you really need the nostalgia fix, but even then, there are better option. This game does none of that, instead opting to play on your nostalgia in the hopes that you don't realize how mediocre this game is. They did what they did, and they did it well. In playing Evoland 2 you will realize what you loved about old games. The main complaint about the first game is that it was too short, but after seeing this one, I would say that was for the best. It shouldn't be an issue in the first place. Turning the graphics settings all the way down lessens some issues, but really there is no excuse. There a few platforming segments that are practically unplayable because of this. The game itself lags (horribly at times) despite not being a particularly taxing game. There is no excuse for a game like this for function so poorly. The performance issues are really the final nail in this game's coffin. At best it's forgetable background music. The FX are decent, but the music falls a little flat. The art direction is on point and follows through to almost all aspects of the game, despite the various styles. Gameplay issues aside, the game does have some upsides. The story could have been so much more giving an actual commentary about the motifs of the genres that this game emulates. Instead of taking the interesting concept of this game and creating a well thought out and clever story around it, the game tells the same store any other 16-bit RPG tells. It's generic, bland and adds nothing to the gameplay besides giving you another place to go. An almost direct ripoff of Chrono Trigger at worst. The RPG segments feel more like running between minigames in a poorly designed Wii game's overworld. The secondary segments become obstacle for the main gameplay, instead of a reward for playing well and figuring out whatever puzzle in the main game. The RPG segments are only a go-between for the secondary segments. The RPG aspect of the game is the only part that is remotely polished, but it is only used as an inbetween for the secondary playstyles. Eventually you will realize that all you want to do is play the RPG segments without bothering with everything else and here in lies the main issue regarding the game. Each segment comes up unexpectidly and is gone again before you get the hang of what you are doing, which is a blessing in disguise because you will soon realize that each one is worse than the last. Each one plays as the worse of each genre it imitates to the point that some segments are practically unplayable in their intended form. Outside of the RPG style (which has its own issues) each segment is poorly cobbled togeather caricatures of iconic game genres. While the idea of the playstyle changing to fit the plot is an amazing idea, this game manages to mess it up. The game sets itself up as a RPG, but throughout the game different events will change the game type for brief moments before the game unceremoniously drops you back into the main game playstyle. Unfortunately, they are executed very poorly. The game types themselves are much more varied in this game as opposed to the first. Its an interesting concept, but it falls flat when it is left behind in favor for the games bland story. In the first game you use this a few times as a puzzle solving tool, but in this game it is mearly a tool to set up the story and then the concept is droped favoring plot points to change the gameplay. Similar to the first game, you 'evolve' the world by unlocking different aspects of the gaming world. The selling point of this game is its different game types. An idea that could have been a great game, but instead we get a half baked slog though bad renditions of nostalgic game genres. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.

Hanoi rocks hostel1/5/2024 These women need to be approached by you as a tourist and you shall have to break the ice. Therefore, most of the women are shy and they do not interact with tourists freely. The women are expected to follow certain disciplines and they have certain roles to fulfill in society, staying out late and drink with strange men is definitely not expected from them. Most of the women in the city of Hanoi hail from conservative families, now the situation may not be as worse as cities such as Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta, but it is no Bangkok or Manila either. There has undoubtedly been a huge influence of the Western culture and the women are now warming up to fashion choices that were considered unconventional. These traits are what define a woman in Hanoi and this is a trend that is generally seen only in the northern part of the country. Most of the women are expected to be delicate, gentle, and feminine. There is also a big reason behind the entire dressing aesthetic as most men in the northern part of the country of Vietnam, especially Hanoi consider women who look cute and doll-like. Most of the women in Hanoi do not experiment too much with their looks or fashion choices, they try to stick to the basics, the tried and tested formulae. Undoubtedly, being the capital city, most of the women here have luxurious tastes, they ensure that they are updated with the latest trends in the fashion industry and they try to get their hands on some of the latest designs which are unveiled in Europe and the Americas. This can be largely attributed to the fact that city is the political centre of the entire country, the citizens, therefore, believe that they must dress and look formal whilst waltzing around in the same area as that of the government. They have exquisite tastes and love regal colours. They do not believe in anything that is too flashy, neither clothing nor footwear. They never overdo their makeup, they keep it straightforward and quite natural. They dress up in elegant clothing, their hairstyles are not ones that shall stand out in a crowd, rather, they have simple hairstyles that are timeless classics. They seldom dress up in tacky loud clothing, they give utmost importance to elegance. The women in the city of Hanoi believe in looking classy. The city of Hanoi is situated in the northern part of the country of Vietnam, here the beauty standards are quite different from that of the women in the southern part of the country. They invest an immense amount of time and money in looking prim and proper. Most of these women make sure that they get their beauty treatments done regularly at a salon, they seldom shall have unwanted hair, flawed skin, and so forth. They are known for their spending habits and they pretty much splurge money on all designer brands that sell clothes, accessories, and footwear. These women take great effort in dressing up and looking good at all times. The women of the city of Hanoi have typical Asian features such as pale skin, smaller eyes, petite figures, naturally occurring dark eyes, and brunette hair.

Their list of fetchable cards isn’t quite complete, but it’s close enough for my purposes. This is intended more as an exhibition of just how broken thinks can get than an actual deck recommendation. It’s also prohibitiavly expensive to put together and will never be allowed for more than a game or two before your friends refuse to play against it (or simply invoke their right to make it stop working, as I covered above). It is miserable to play against, unrewarding to play with, and flat-out loses to one of your opponents having Force of Will in their opening hand. The following decklist violates everything about the social contract, the purpose of silver-bordered Magic, and the spirit of Commander. Roy ultimately acted alone, he said, it was difficult to prove she “caused” the death.*Quick note before I continue. The verdict stunned many legal specialists because suicide is generally considered, legally, to result from a person’s free will.ĭaniel Medwed, a law professor at Northeastern University, said the decision surprised him because the manslaughter charge seemed “a stretch” to begin with. And finally, she did not issue a simple additional instruction: ‘Get out of the truck.’” “She admits in a subsequent text that she did nothing, she did not call the police or Mr. Roy after she had put him in danger by ordering him back into the truck.

Instead, the judge zeroed in on the moment that Mr. And the judge accepted it as factual and incriminating. The prosecution made this phone call, as described in Ms. She said she then instructed him “to get back in.” “I was on the phone with him and he got out of the car because it was working and he got scared.” “Sam his death is my fault, like honestly I could have stopped him,” Ms. Roy to get back in the truck constituted wanton and reckless conduct.”īut the phone conversation was not recorded, and the only evidence of its content came three months after the suicide in a text from Ms. “This court finds,” the judge added, “that instructing Mr. Carter told him to get back in, fully knowing “his ambiguities, his fears, his concerns.” Roy, with fumes gathering in the cab of his truck, apparently had a change of heart and stepped out, the judge said, Ms. Roy drove his truck to a remote spot at a Kmart parking lot, the two ceased texting and instead talked on their cellphones. Roy, 18, to seek treatment for his depression but then abruptly changed, and in the two weeks before he killed himself on July 12, 2014, she encouraged him, repeatedly, to do it. Carter, then 17, started out encouraging Mr. The verdict concluded an emotionally draining weeklong trial in southeastern Massachusetts involving two troubled teenagers who had built a virtual relationship largely on texting from 2012 to 2014. Carter to stand up, and pronounced her guilty, the two families seated on either side of the courtroom’s aisle - Ms. Judge Moniz unspooled his verdict in a packed courtroom, which was silent except for his voice and Ms. “This puts all the things that you say in the mix of criminal responsibility.” “Will the next case be a Facebook posting in which someone is encouraged to commit a crime?” Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge and Harvard Law professor, asked. Legal experts said that it seemed to extend manslaughter law into new territory, and that if it stood, it could have far-reaching implications, at least in Massachusetts. Carter’s defense team is expected to appeal the verdict.

Now with Repentance out and improvements to the API I'd like to know if playing with large amounts of mods (I'm thinking maybe 200-400) is feasible ?

Also if the AB+ Merger still works where could I find documentation on how to use it? If I remember correctly I could at max load roughly 50-60 mods until I basically had a slideshow.

And there's another problem: "antibirth.a" can't be unpacked with existing (for now) software that I found on github, cause file has another hashing algorithm. I need to unpack "antibirth.a" first and then convert it. I tried to do it with antibirth and I didn't succeed. I found some forum topics about modding of isaac on PSV and found a program that can convert resource files from PC to a PSV-friendly files. So I got an idea: what if I can get the antibirth mod on a PSV. And I remember enjoying the antibirth mod while i was playing on PC. I got my first PS Vita (PSV) a few days ago and i have TBOIR on it. Hi! For first, sorry for my broken English! Parametre grabit1/4/2024 In this section, we will consider a number of examples of fitting ODE epidemic models to data. In practice, it may be advisable to check several sets of initial parameter values and use the smallest SSE obtained. One important difficulty is that the minimization process is local, so depending on the initially specified parameter values, a minimum may occur for different sets of parameter values, and the minimal value of the SSE may be different. This process is repeated a number of times until the SSE no longer becomes smaller. The user specifies initial parameter values, and the computer solves the differential equations with those parameter values, evaluates the SSE, and improves the parameter values so that the SSE is reduced. The minimization is typically performed iteratively. The code requires two basic components: a differential equation solver and a minimization routine. As a result, in the general case, this problem is solved numerically with the use of computer algebra systems such as Mathematica, Matlab, and R. Hence, the resulting minimization problem is also highly nonlinear. Differential equation epidemic models are typically nonlinear and cannot be solved explicitly. Minimizing the SSE is an optimization problem with its own difficulties. Then we consider the sum-of-squares error: In particular, suppose we are fitting the prevalence I( t), and we are given the data. 6.1) so that the sum of the squares of the vertical distances from the data points to the point on the curve is as small as possible. We fit the solution curve through the data (see Fig. In the least-squares approach, we assume that the time coordinates of the data are exact, but their y-coordinates may be noisy or distorted. A better way to fit the solution to the data is the least-squares approach. However, interpolation is not always the best approach to fit real data, since the data may contain errors, and capturing every tiny change in them may be impractical. This type of fit is called interpolation. What does it mean for a solution to best fit the data? Clearly, ideally, we would like the solution to pass through all the data points. We recall that curve-fitting or calibration is the process of identifying the parameters of the model so that the solution best fits the data. Data could be given on the prevalence of the disease, as was the example with influenza in the English boarding school it may be given on the incidence and sometimes, it may be given on the number of recovered individuals. We assume that we have data in the form of a time series for one or more of the classes in the model. AuthorWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. ArchivesCategories |
