Plot

"Blurb" quoted from the Macmillan web site

The Charisian Empire, born in war, has always known it must fight for its very survival. What most of its subjects don’t know even now, however, is how much more it’s fighting for. Emperor Cayleb, Empress Sharleyan, Merlin Athrawes, and their innermost circle of most trusted advisers do know. And because they do, they know the penalty if they lose will be far worse than their own deaths and the destruction of all they know and love.

For five years, Charis has survived all the Church of God Awaiting and the corrupt men who control it have thrown at the island empire. The price has been high and paid in blood. Despite its chain of hard-fought naval victories, Charis is still on the defensive. It can hold its own at sea, but if it is to survive, it must defeat the Church upon its own ground. Yet how does it invade the mainland and take the war to a foe whose population outnumbers its own fifteen to one? How does it prevent that massive opponent from rebuilding its fleets and attacking yet again?

Charis has no answer to those questions, but needs to find one…quickly. The Inquisition’s brutal torture and hideous executions are claiming more and more innocent lives. Its agents are fomenting rebellion against the only mainland realms sympathetic to Charis. Religious terrorists have been dispatched to wreak havoc against the Empire’s subjects. Assassins stalk the Emperor and Empress, their allies and advisers, and an innocent young boy, not yet eleven years old, whose father has already been murdered. And Merlin Athrawes, the cybernetic avatar of a young woman a thousand years dead, has finally learned what sleeps beneath the far-off Temple in the Church of God Awaiting’s city of Zion.

The men and women fighting for human freedom and tolerance have built a foundation for their struggle in the Empire of Charis with their own blood, but will that foundation be firm enough to survive?

THIS EXAMPLE, is an image of the older hardcover-reprint's artwork that better represents Honor Harrington, but not her uniform or Nimitz, her Treecat.

David Weber has stated that he views the Cover art from OBS as being most faithful to the image of Honor Harrington, but NOT her uniform or of Nimitz, her tree cat. The edition of OBS that is for sale now includes new cover art. It's safe to presume that Weber's comment was in reference to the original version, as is most often now seen on the hardcover re-print. .

Quote from Interview

During a podcast interview with "TheD6Generation", David Weber appeared to be referring to both In Fire Forged and the upcoming October 2010 Young Adult book when he said:

"And all of these books will be set 250 years before Honor Harrington's birth. So, the Star Kingdom of Manticore is basically Denmark at this point, a small prosperous, back of nowhere different kingdom."

List of G-codes commonly found on Fanuc and similarly designed controls

Sources: Smid; Green et al.

FANUC Operator's Manual, publication number B-63524EN/01, Dec., 2007/Edition 01.04 (c) FANUC LTD, 2001

GE Famuc Automation, Computer Numerical Control Products: "Operator's Manual", February 2000, publication number B-63004EN/02. (NO Copyright data or notice found.)

Explanation for Table:
The primary source material for the below table is the 2007 edition of the FANUC Operator's Manual. When different sources use different names or descriptors for the same G-code, the FANUC term is used in the table's description column. (Other source's descriptors may appear in smaller type in the Corollary info column.)
One source (citation needed) has stated that the Haas brand name has the largest share of the marketplace in terms of machines sold both in the US and internationally. However, this is only in terms of machines (and controllers) sold from one manufacturer. G-codes for the Haas system are represented in the below table's 2nd column.
The FANUC controller is the most common CNC controller used across all brand names of CNC machines in general. Within the GE-Fanuc series of controllers, the most common G-code system is "A" (or "standard"), as represented in the below table's 1st column. Some manufacturers also support "B" (or "Special") on some machines, these are shown in the below table's next-to-last column. Note that the G-code system is hard-wired into a machine, and is NOT generally selectable.

G-Codes

A	H	Description	Group No.	Corollary info	Milling ( M )	Turning ( T )	B	C
$\bullet$ G00	G00	Rapid motion positioning	00	On 2- or 3-axis moves, G00 (unlike G01) does not necessarily move in a single straight line between start point and end point. It moves each axis at its max speed until its vector is achieved. Shorter vector usually finishes first (given similar axis speeds).	M	T	$\bullet$ G00	$\bullet$ G00
G01	G01	Linear interpolation	00	The most common workhorse code for feeding during a cut. The program specs the start and end points, and the control automatically calculates (interpolates) the intermediate points to pass through that will yield a straight line (hence "linear"). The control then calculates the angular velocities at which to turn the axis leadscrews. The computer performs thousands of calculations per second. Actual machining takes place with given feed on linear path.	M	T	G01	G01
G02	G02	Circular interpolation CW or Helical interpolation CW	00	Cannot start G41 or G42 in G02 or G03 modes. Must already be compensated in earlier G01 block.	M	T	G02	G02
G03	G03	Circular interpolation CCW or Helical interpolation CCW	00	Cannot start G41 or G42 in G02 or G03 modes. Must already be compensated in earlier G01 block.	M	T	G03	G03
G04	G04	Dwell	00	Takes an address for dwell period (may be X, U, or P)	M	T	G04	G04

G19	G19	YpZp plane selection	16 (02 Haas)		M		G19	G19
G20	G20	Programming in inches	06	Somewhat uncommon except in USA and (to lesser extent) Canada and UK. However, in the global marketplace, competence with both G20 and G21 always stands some chance of being necessary at any time. The usual minimum increment in G20 is one ten-thousandth of an inch (0.0001"), which is a larger distance than the usual minimum increment in G21 (one thousandth of a millimeter, .001 mm, that is, one micrometre). This physical difference sometimes favors G21 programming.	M	T	G20	G70
G21	G21	Programming in millimeters (mm)	06	Prevalent worldwide. However, in the global marketplace, competence with both G20 and G21 always stands some chance of being necessary at any time.	M	T	G21	G71

G30	.	(or: 2nd, 3rd and 4th reference position return) Return to secondary home position (machine zero, aka machine reference point)	00	Takes a P address specifying which machine zero point is desired, if the machine has several secondary points (P1 to P4). Takes X Y Z addresses which define the intermediate point that the tool tip will pass through on its way home to machine zero. They are in terms of part zero (aka program zero), NOT machine zero.

G41	G41	Tool nose radius compensation left	07	Milling: Given righthand-helix cutter and M03 spindle direction, G41 corresponds to climb milling (down milling). Takes an address (D or H) that calls an offset register value for radius. Turning: Often needs no D or H address on lathes, because whatever tool is active automatically calls its geometry offsets with it. (Each turret station is bound to its geometry offset register.)	M	T	G41	G41
G42	G42	Tool nose radius compensation right	07	Similar corollary info as for G41. Given righthand-helix cutter and M03 spindle direction, G42 corresponds to conventional milling (up milling).	M	T	G42	G42
G43	.	Tool height offset compensation negative	_	Takes an address, usually H, to call the tool length offset register value. The value is negative because it will be added to the gauge line position. G43 is the commonly used version (vs G44).	M
G44	.	Tool height offset compensation positive	_	Takes an address, usually H, to call the tool length offset register value. The value is positive because it will be subtracted from the gauge line position. G44 is the seldom-used version (vs G43).	M

G50	G50	Define the maximum spindle speed	00	Takes an S address integer which is interpreted as rpm. Without this feature, G96 mode (CSS) would rev the spindle to "wide open throttle" when closely approaching the axis of rotation.		T	G92	G92
G50		Scaling function cancel	_		M
G50		Position register (programming of vector from part zero to tool tip)	_	Position register is one of the original methods to relate the part (program) coordinate system to the tool position, which indirectly relates it to the machine coordinate system, the only position the control really "knows". Not commonly programmed anymore because G54 to G59 (WCSs) are a better, newer method. Called via G50 for turning, G92 for milling. Those G addresses also have alternate meanings (which see). Position register can still be useful for datum shift programming.		T	G92	G92

G51.2 (G251)		Polygonal turning	20				G51.2 (G251)	G51.2 (G251)
G52	G52	Local coordinate system (LCS)	00	Temporarily shifts program zero to a new location. This simplifies programming in some cases.	M		G52	G52
G53	G52	Machine coordinate system	00	Takes absolute coordinates (X,Y,Z,A,B,C) with reference to machine zero rather than program zero. Can be helpful for tool changes. Nonmodal and absolute only. Subsequent blocks are interpreted as "back to G54" even if it is not explicitly programmed.	M	T	G53	G53
$\bullet$ G54	G54	Work coordinate system 1 (WCSs)	14	Have largely replaced position register (G50 and G92). Each tuple of axis offsets relates program zero directly to machine zero.

T-Mobile/AT&T and the 180-day countdown timer

On August 26, 2011 the FCC's "180-day timer" was restarted at day 83. This implies that around December 4, 2011 the FCC should announce their decision regarding AT&T's purchase of T-Mobile.

This "code" originally derived from:

Justice John Paul Stevens' time in office will surpass that of...

...Hugo Black in −5,237 days

TECHNOLOGY NOVEMBER 26, 2011 "AT&T Bickers With FCC on Merger Review"

By GREG BENSINGER

AT&T Inc. battled for months with U.S. regulators to approve its $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA. Now the telecommunications giant is bickering with the government over whether it can withdraw the proposed deal.

AT&T said it would take a $4 billion charge in the final quarter, an acknowledgement the company's proposed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA faces an increasingly uphill battle. Anton Troianovski has details on The News Hub.

In a statement Friday, AT&T said commissioners missed their chance to vote on a proposal announced Tuesday from Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski that the merger be sent before an administrative law judge for approval. The carrier announced it had withdrawn its FCC application in the early hours of the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.

FCC officials had said Thursday their options included granting the withdrawal with prejudice, which means AT&T couldn't reapply later, or denying it outright, which would allow the FCC to move forward with plans to vote on the hearing. The agency has yet to take official action.

"We have every right to withdraw our merger from the FCC, and the FCC has no right to stop us," AT&T General Counsel Wayne Watts said in the statement. "Any suggestion the agency might do otherwise would be an abuse of procedure which we would immediately challenge in court."

An AT&T spokesman declined to comment beyond the statement. An FCC spokeswoman had no response.

AT&T's merger plan has faced mounting challenges, including a Justice Department suit to block the deal and similar lawsuits from seven state attorneys general and from rivals Sprint Nextel Corp. and C Spire Wireless. Had FCC commissioners approved the chairman's recommendation, AT&T would have faced a hearing before an administrative law judge after it completed its federal trial stemming from the Justice Department suit.

The carrier needs approval from both the Justice Department, which will judge it on antitrust grounds, and the FCC, which weighs whether mergers are in the best interests of the public.

If it were to reapply to the FCC, AT&T would get a new 180-day timeframe under which the FCC could respond. AT&T is hoping to get Justice Department clearance for the merger—which would catapult it to the largest U.S. carrier by subscribers—either through the trial scheduled to begin in February or an out-of-court settlement.

AT&T also said Thursday it will take a charge in this year's final quarter for $4 billion, a sum it may owe T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom AG if the merger fails to go through. That works out to $3 billion in breakup fees and $1 billion in estimated book spectrum value. —Amy Schatz contributed to this article.

The Math

The point where the 2nd round of voting will begin is not a fixed number, but rather it is calculated based upon if a ranked candidate can theoretically get enough votes to win, then he/she and every candidate with a lesser vote total will have their ballots recounted for the next choice.

Here is an example of how the math could work:

Hodges: 79,174 - 28,935 = 50,239 available

Andrew: 50,239 - 19,584 = 30,655 available

{ 50,239 + 19,584 = 69,823 } > 39,588

Samuels: 30,655 - 8,335 = 22,320 available

{ 22,320 + 8,335 = 30,655 } ≯ [not greater than] 39,588

Thus, the votes for Samuels, or at least those candidates with lesser totals, should be recounted using the second choice.

Assistant is a household appliance (originally) from Electrolux, which was introduced in 1940. It was designed by Alvar Lenning and became a bestseller for Electrolux. It is produced since 1969 in Ankarsrum when production was moved from Motala. It is sold today in several different colors.

Hook versus Roller discussion

There is some disagreement (and/or discussion) between the (U.S.-based) so-called "experts" as to if the dough hook is needed or not (as opposed to the scraper and roller method). Here are some examples:

This first pair show a lighter density mixture, thus is not as relevant for bread dough users:

* Roller or dough hook? Magic Mill DLX Electrolux 1: Roller and Scraper (1:36, YouTube).

* Roller or dough hook? Magic Mill DLX Electrolux 2: Bread Hook (2:23, YouTube).

Two good examples of the different methods:

• "Assistent Original Mixer Demonstration", uses the "bread hook" method for bread dough (11:23, YouTube).
• "Ankarsrum (Electrolux/Magic Mill/Verona) Mixer Demonstration", uses the "scraper and roller" method for bread dough (16:25, YouTube).

Sepkoski Curve

Major extinction events

In a landmark paper published in 1982, Jack Sepkoski and David M. Raup identified five mass extinctions. They were originally identified as outliers to a general trend of decreasing extinction rates during the Phanerozoic, but as more stringent statistical tests have been applied to the accumulating data, the "Big Five" cannot be so clearly defined, but rather appear to represent the largest (or some of the largest) of a relatively smooth continuum of extinction events.

Example of a Sepkoski Curve chart, on dn display at Milwaukee Public Museum, 1st floor.

1. Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event (End Cretaceous, K-T extinction, or K-Pg extinction): 66 Ma at the Cretaceous(Maastrichtian)-Paleogene(Danian) transition interval. The K–T event is now officially called the Cretaceous–Paleogene (or K–Pg) extinction event in place of Cretaceous-Tertiary. About 17% of all families, 50% of all genera and 75% of all species became extinct. In the seas it reduced the percentage of sessile animals to about 33%. All non-avian dinosaurs became extinct during that time. The boundary event was severe with a significant amount of variability in the rate of extinction between and among different clades. Mammals and birds emerged as dominant land vertebrates in the age of new life.
2. Triassic–Jurassic extinction event (End Triassic): 200 Ma at the Triassic-Jurassic transition. About 23% of all families, 48% of all genera (20% of marine families and 55% of marine genera) and 70% to 75% of all species went extinct. Most non-dinosaurian archosaurs, most therapsids, and most of the large amphibians were eliminated, leaving dinosaurs with little terrestrial competition. Non-dinosaurian archosaurs continued to dominate aquatic environments, while non-archosaurian diapsids continued to dominate marine environments. The Temnospondyl lineage of large amphibians also survived until the Cretaceous in Australia (e.g., Koolasuchus).
3. Permian–Triassic extinction event (End Permian): 251 Ma at the Permian-Triassic transition. Earth's largest extinction killed 57% of all families, 83% of all genera and 90% to 96% of all species (53% of marine families, 84% of marine genera, about 96% of all marine species and an estimated 70% of land species, including insects). The evidence of plants is less clear, but new taxa became dominant after the extinction. The "Great Dying" had enormous evolutionary significance: on land, it ended the primacy of mammal-like reptiles. The recovery of vertebrates took 30 million years, but the vacant niches created the opportunity for archosaurs to become ascendant. In the seas, the percentage of animals that were sessile dropped from 67% to 50%. The whole late Permian was a difficult time for at least marine life, even before the "Great Dying".
4. Late Devonian extinction: 375–360 Ma near the Devonian-Carboniferous transition. At the end of the Frasnian Age in the later part(s) of the Devonian Period, a prolonged series of extinctions eliminated about 19% of all families, 50% of all genera and 70% of all species. This extinction event lasted perhaps as long as 20 Ma, and there is evidence for a series of extinction pulses within this period.
5. Ordovician–Silurian extinction events (End Ordovician or O-S): 450–440 Ma at the Ordovician-Silurian transition. Two events occurred that killed off 27% of all families, 57% of all genera and 60% to 70% of all species. Together they are ranked by many scientists as the second largest of the five major extinctions in Earth's history in terms of percentage of genera that went extinct.

Despite the popularization of these five events, there is no fine line separating them from other extinction events; indeed, using different methods of calculating an extinction's impact can lead to other events featuring in the top five.

The older the fossil record gets, the more difficult it is to read. This is because:

• Older fossils are harder to find because they are usually buried at a considerable depth in the rock.
• Dating older fossils is more difficult.
• Productive fossil beds are researched more than unproductive ones, therefore leaving certain periods unresearched.
• Prehistoric environmental disturbances can disturb the deposition process.
• The preservation of fossils varies on land, but marine fossils tend to be better preserved than their sought after land-based counterparts.

It has been suggested that the apparent variations in marine biodiversity may actually be an artifact, with abundance estimates directly related to quantity of rock available for sampling from different time periods. However, statistical analysis shows that this can only account for 50% of the observed pattern, and other evidence (such as fungal spikes) provides reassurance that most widely accepted extinction events are indeed real. A quantification of the rock exposure of Western Europe does indicate that many of the minor events for which a biological explanation has been sought are most readily explained by sampling bias.

The King's Choice (Norwegian: Kongens nei) is a 2016 biographical war film directed by Erik Poppe. It is a co-production between Norway and Ireland, and was selected as the Norwegian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards. In December 2016, it made the shortlist of nine films to be considered for a nomination at the 89th Academy Awards.

The film is related to King Haakon VII's decision to support a continuation of fighting the German invasion forces rather than acceding to German demands and surrender Norway to Nazi Germany and the Norwegian collaborator Vidkun Quisling. The consequences of the government's refusal to surrender, and the king's support of that, were continued hostilities, the Norwegian royal family's dramatic escape from Norway, and the World War II involvement of Norway on the Allied side.

Howe School

Not to be confused with Howe School, of the Minneapolis Public Schools system, in the Howe Neighborhood (and the Longfellow Community) of Minneapolis, MN.

Example: You're my Mississippi

One well done variation on this theme is used in the movie "Annapolis" (2006), starring James Franco as Jake Huard

• Quote (from imdb):

Jake Huard : He's right you know.

Twins : Can I borrow your starch?

Jake Huard : Look, I don't get it. Why are you still here?

Twins : You want to know why I stay in this room?

Jake Huard : Yeah.

Twins : Cause Jake, you're my Mississippi.

Jake Huard : I'm your what?

Twins : People who live in Arkansas, you know what their favorite state is?

Jake Huard : No.

Twins : Mississippi. Cause Mississippi's the only thing that keeps Arkansas from being the worst state in the whole country.

Jake Huard : I'm Mississippi.

Twins : Well you sure as hell ain't California. Listen, Cole and Whitaker are so busy tryin' to run you out they forgot about me. As a matter of fact, they've forgotten about every other plebe in this whole company. That's why I stay in this room Jake. Cause if Mississippi quits, then all of a sudden Arkansas is the worst state in the whole country.

Affected Neighborhoods of Minneapolis

Minneapolis has a eleven identified communities, each of which has a number of neighborhoods within it. The 3rd Precinct Police Station is located on the eastern side of the Longfellow neighborhood (which is inside the Longfellow Community). The destruction has since expanded elsewhere, locally to the West, in Phillips Community (north side of Lake Street) and Powderhorn Community (south side of Lake Street), as well as to St. Paul's Midway area and possibly elsewhere.

The confrontation/Death of George Floyd took place in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood (which is inside the community of the similar name). The area covered by the 3rd Precinct (MAP) includes both the Powderhorn and Longfellow Neighborhoods.

It has since expanded to include at least the xxxx neighborhood.

Most of the rioting originally has taken place in the xxxxxx
