China Reveals Short-Range Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile Designed To Dodge Enemy Defenses | Sand Blasting Booth

In 2010, Washington Pirete, whose LinkedIn profile and a professional publication list him as a longtime Vale employee, wrote a master’s thesis focused on the dam at Brumadinho. Mr. Pirete concluded that the risks of liquefaction were low to moderate, but several engineers say now that his analysis, if anything, cast doubt on the safety of the dam.

In 2006, long before Kim Kardashian broke the Internet, this Chicago band went viral with what is otherwise known as “the treadmill video,” a self-choreographed DIY affair – with the help of lead singer Damian Kulash’s sister Trish Sie, who was working as a ballroom dancer at the time. The clip features the band executing a series of (mostly) precision dance moves on six moving treadmills, and if you’ve ever fallen off one of those things, the video is as thrilling as it is entertaining, helping it rack up a reported 900,000 views in a single day. It wasn’t the first ambitious video the group had recorded – see 2002′s “C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips” – nor would it be the last, as the band would only scale up with subsequent visuals, most recently culminating in 2016′s “Upside Down & Inside Out,” shot in a plane that simulated zero gravity. How they’ll top that one remains to be seen, but we’ll probably find out soon enough. – F.D.

I really enjoyed that. I wasn’t one of those that disliked the first season but it felt a little off. This just felt felt better.

In August 1960, the Coliseum Bowling Center in South Richmond had just opened, and its 40 lanes made it the area’s biggest ten-pin alley at the time. Sunset Bowl, which opened on West Broad Street in Henrico County about a year earlier, was the first ten-pin center in Richmond.

Yup, that’s right. Skyrim. In VR. It’s the full thing; hundreds of hours worth of content, full support for motion controllers across the wide range of swords, bows and spells, and complete freedom over where you go and what you do. Whilst Skyrim does include some inevitable awkward elements, they don’t stand in the way of what is otherwise the biggest and arguably most compelling VR experience on the market. Support for mods on PC also makes this a practically endless experience.

Ah, I see the Orville fans are out in force, as Season 2 has a 29% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. lol.

I only bring it up because not everyone is gong to like it, even if you can justify it, from Spock’s sister to Section 31. But that’s how retcons work and prequels especially build on retcons. You accept it or you don’t.

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” is a tired, tight-lipped sentiment — unless you’re Ariana Grande and you flip the script. With “thank u, next,” Grande put an empowering spin on the old adage: Within days of the end of her engagement to Pete Davidson, the pop star hit the studio to record the cathartic single. She laid out what she learned from all her celebrity exes in its verses, including how to love, how to be patient and how to process (and heal from) pain. Over a syrupy progression indebted to ‘90s R&B, she gives credit where it’s due, boldly name-checking Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez, Mac Miller and Davidson, for whom she’s especially “thankful.” Grande took the high road all the way to the top of the Hot 100, as “thank u, next” became her first track to hit No. 1 on the chart. – H.H.

”The trend in the clear-sky DLR [Downward Longwave Radiation ] found over the oceans, based on a linear fit to the time series, is 1.8 ±0.3 W/㎡ per decade. Thus over the 18 years of the record analyzed [1988–2005] the expected change in global oceanic DLR is 3.2 W/㎡, which is the same order of magnitude as the error obtained in calculating it (approximately 2–3 W/㎡, according to the results of Fig. 3). Thus we conclude this trend in global-mean DLR would not yet detectible from observations.”
