![]() ![]() In 2003, the Huntress joined the group, and has been a mainstay ever since. ![]() The original concept had former Batgirl, now confined to a wheelchair and having become computer expert/information broker Oracle, partnering up with vigilante Black Canary. They subsequently had several regular ongoing series due to their instant popularity. The Birds of Prey have been a staple of DC Comics since the mid ’90s, ever since the team up mini-series Black Canary/Oracle: Birds of Prey in 1995. It seem that Barbara Gordon is being saved for her own solo Batgirl film, and is not set to appear. No one has been cast in either of those roles yet. Other characters confirmed for this movie are Gotham detective Renee Montoya, and Cassandra Cain, who has gone by many superhero names, like Batgirl, the Black Bat, and more recently, the Orphan. The duo will fight a crime boss style villain that has yet to be announced, although rumors circulate it will be either the Penguin or Black Mask. Margot Robbie will reprise Harley Quinn, in a story set in a Gotham that is reportedly no longer protected by Batman (so, no Batfleck cameo folks.) Cathy Yan is on board to direct. Mary Elizabeth Winstead has nabbed the role of the Huntress, while Underground actress Jurnee Smollett-Bell will play the sonic powered martial artist Black Canary. The upcoming Birds of Prey film has just cast its two main superhero leads, according to a report via Deadline.

![]() More importantly, this site offers a time navigation service for human users and a time authority service for programmatic usage. You can also convert milliseconds to date & time and the other way around. This site provides the current time in milliseconds elapsed since the UNIX epoch (Jan 1, 1970) as well as in other common formats including local / UTC time comparisons. From this point of view the name “GMT” seems deprecated, but kept around for backward compatibility, traditional timezone based representation of time and sometimes legal reasons. ![]() If you were to calculate true GMT today i would see it based on its original definition of 1 second = 1/86400 days and this would for sure return a different absolute value than what UTC gives us. These 2 turning points (different definition of a second and the introduction of leap seconds) ‘forced’ GMT to be the same as UTC based on what seemed a gradual, tacit convention. ![]() In 1972 leap seconds were introduced to synchronize UTC time with solar time. UTC’s second is far more precise than GMT's original second. Unlike GMT which is based on solar time and originally calculated a second as a fraction of the time it takes for the Earth to make a full rotation around its axis, UTC calculates a second as “the duration of 9192631770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom”. UTC essentially appeared in 1960, GMT being the ‘main thing’ until then. Literature and history are a bit ambiguous. ![]() Oops – good thing we have tests to check for mistakes like that. In fact, the one time I did make a change to SystemManager (early in my development career), I inadvertently ended up pulling in all of UIComponent and bloating Flex development SWFs that week by a good 10k. You'll need to run script/bootstrap once before the test script will work.When I first joined the Flex framework team, the Flex SystemManager seemed like a black magic, voodoo-y class that no one in their sane mind wanted to touch.

![]() ![]() But, according to Techcrunch, the Mozilla Foundation is pulling its resources from the project. Mozilla’s Thunderbird e-mail client has been my go-to free e-mail client when I decided I wanted an alternative to using solely Web-based mail interfaces. UPDATE : If you’re on Windows, you might also want to look at Inky. If you need calendar or other integration, you’ll probably need to keep hunting. Geary is the clear winner for me and could be a good e-mail alternative if you’re hunting for one on Ubuntu. I can see a Delete option on the toolbar now but for awhile, it was not clear to me how to delete a message. The navigation for the app is simple and there appear to be some functions that are context sensitive. Google Mail accounts will show your labels as folders and you can look at accounts separately or as a group. Geary E-mail is a clean, multiple account client for Ubuntu users and a good alternative to Thunderbird and Zimbra. It can handle multiple IMAP and POP3 accounts and provides the same sort of unified inbox as other modern e-mail programs. You won’t find the same extendibility for calendars and the like but it’s a great e-mail client. It has a very clean interface and feels more modern than Thunderbird. My current Ubuntu e-mail client is Geary Mail, which you can find in the Ubuntu Software Center. I have not tried to run it with Crossover Linux or Wine but that would be a possibility, I suppose. On Windows, I like the Inky client but they are only on Mac and Windows, not Ubuntu. I’ve never cared for Evolution, although I have tried it at various times over the past few years and on different versions of Ubuntu. Where Thunderbird excelled was to leave all of that to extensions. It feels old, though, and some of the information panes feel either poorly implemented or clunky – social media in particular. It’s easy to install on Ubuntu and it has some flexibility in theming and layout. Zimbra, on the other hand, seems to be in pretty good shape. But it also doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of attention. Thunderbird is a great e-mail app, in part because it had an extension community similar to the Firefox Web browser. I was reminded about this post when ResearchBuzz posted about a Thunderbird security flaw last week. ![]() You can see my thoughts on Thunderbird and Zimbra Desktop. Ubuntu e-mail clients still call to me, though, as I like having something that provides a single view to multiple accounts. I’ve mostly shifted to Web-based e-mail because I found that, when moving between Windows and Ubuntu machines, it was easier than using two different clients. I’ve tried to focus on the tools that are free to use and, if they’re not free, at least offer a free trial, so that you can test them before you fork out anything for them.
Your help in keeping this alive through social media and national news was an intricate part in bringing her home to us. Thank you for allowing our family time to heal and for giving us our privacy. We especially would like to thank the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office, The NorCal Alliance for the Missing, the Lost Coast Trackers, Shasta Support Services, the Guardian Angels - our A-Team - the California Highway Patrol, Yolo County Sheriff’s Office, the medical personnel that helped Sherri that morning, and the whole world that reached out to help find her.Įveryone’s tireless efforts has made our family whole again this Thanksgiving. We are overwhelmed with joy of how supportive everyone has been to help bring us together as a family again. Papini’s sister, Sheila Koester, released the following statement on behalf of Papini and her husband at a news conference: “I’ll be the first to say, I guess, that the true story of what happened is yet to come-too many unusual aspects, so far, to the narrative that’s been released to the public on what has been stated that happened.” “My investigative antennas are on alert on this one,” Ray Helmuth posted to Facebook. “I certainly hope nobody in the situation would lie about something so serious, but only time and more information will tell.” ![]() “I have heard of kidnappers releasing victims by the road, and all that seems a little extreme to cover up an affair, but hey, stranger things have happened,” Reddit user blanca93 said. Keeping someone for weeks and then releasing them without compensation is even rarer. Kidnapping for ransom in the US is very rare. It’s possible she was taken and then released relatively unharmed weeks later– but it’d be an exceptional case. Can’t be more than a few thousand of those across the roadways of America at any given moment.”Ī Reddit user who uses the handle nickdaisy wrote: Gee, two hispanic women driving a dark SUV. She just said they are hispanic and are driving a dark SUV. “Again, seems odd it would be so vague given she was with them for 3 weeks. ![]() “I saw a news report that stated she gave a ‘vague’ description of her abductors,” PlanoJoe commented on a Denver Post article. Others are expressing their disbelief via social media. While many people are celebrating the fact that Papini was found alive, others are claiming that the kidnapping may have been a hoax.Īn anonymous source told Heavy that they were advised that Papini’s “extended family” claimed she had staged her own abduction in 2006. You can watch a preview of the interview below: “Are they feeding her? Is she hot? Is she cold? Just little horrible things that I would go through.” “I was just worried about her health,” he told 20/20. Keith went onto explain that he spent many sleepless nights not knowing where his wife was. She’s saying, ‘Well maybe people aren’t stopping because I have a chain that looks like I broke out of prison,’ so she tried to tuck in her chain under her clothes.” ![]() “And again just another sign of how my wife is, she’s so wonderful. “She screamed so much, she’s coughing up blood from the screaming trying to get somebody to stop,” Keith, who has two children with Papini, continued. They opened the door, she doesn’t know because she had a bag over her head, they cut something to free her restraint that was holding her into the vehicle and then, kind of, pushed her out of the vehicle,” Keith told 20/20‘s Matt Gutman. “Her left hand was in the vehicle chained to something, she was chained anytime she was in a vehicle. In an interview with 20/20 that aired December 2, Keith described the moment his wife was allegedly freed, and said she desperately tried to flag down passing motorists. The beauty was treated for injuries that were not life-threatening and reunited with her husband, Keith Papini, according to Bosenko. Papini was found in the early hours of Thanksgiving morning after flagging down a motorist along an interstate, CNN reported.Ī 911 call between a dispatcher and deputies revealed that Papini was “chained to something,” and also “heavily battered.” One deputy said the California Highway Patrol advised that it was a “confirmed kidnapping.” She was reportedly found on northbound I-5 just south of Yolo. “We are very ecstatic to report that Sherri Papini has been located, and has been reunited with her husband and family on this Thanksgiving Day,” Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said in a news conference, which you can watch above. She Was Found ‘Heavily Battered’ & Chained Many members of the public believe Papini may have “staged” her own abduction for fame and fortune.ġ.

These methods will handle the initialization and resource management for the MediaPlayer.

![]() ![]() ![]() When that eight hours of use is up, it reverts back to SketchUp Make. When you download SketchUp Make, it starts as an 8-hour trial of SketchUp Pro. If you don’t know what vector files are, you probably don’t need this feature, but if you do, the price of SketchUp Pro is a real bargain compared to other design packages. With SketchUp Pro, you can also import and export vector files in dwg, dxf and other formats, so you can use your SketchUp model along with AutoCAD or Adobe Illustrator. The biggest difference is that SketchUp Pro includes an add-on program called Layout that makes printing (especially for presentations and large format prints) much easier and better looking than the print functions in the free version. You can read about the solid tools in this post from 2010. SketchUp Pro does contain solid modeling tools, a feature that was introduced a few years ago with the release of SketchUp 8. One of the most common questions I get is “what’s the difference between the two versions?”Īs far as basic modeling for woodworking is concerned, there isn’t a significant difference between the two. There has been a change to the license agreement, basically it states that if you’re using the software to make money, you need to purchase a license for SketchUp Pro. As has been the case, this fully functional modeling software is absolutely free for personal use. The free version of SketchUp is now called SketchUp Make. The changes aren’t major, as far as the function (and learning how to model in 3D) is concerned, but there are several things worth noting.
