Ask if they have a bulletin board, or somewhere you can post a flyer, about the sale of your prized Pokemon card collection. Not only is the store a potential buyer, but the people that hang around are the type of Pokemon card enthusiast who may be interested in buying your collection.

![]() Beyoncé wasn’t the main writer of “Irreplaceable,” but she still took full ownership of the song. Still, public perception works in funny ways. Ne-Yo, an artist who’s already appeared in this column, wrote all the lyrics for “Irreplaceable,” and he’s never been shy about saying it. A whole condo! Nothing but condoms! Also, Beyoncé didn’t write “Irreplaceable.” She’s got writing and production credits on the song, but she mostly just made small changes to the track that was presented to her. He’d already told the world that he had a condo with nothing but condoms in it. For one thing, there is absolutely no way that Beyoncé could fit everything that Jay owns in a box to the left. “Irreplaceable,” the third and biggest single from B’Day, is clearly not about Jay-Z or Rihanna. ![]() It’s an 8.) Beyoncé followed that track up with the harsh, sirens-blaring fuck-you-up anthem “Ring The Alarm.” People heard “Ring The Alarm” as a song about Rihanna the perception was so strong that Matthew Knowles, Beyoncé’s father and then-manager, felt like he had to make a statement indicating that “Ring The Alarm” was not about Rihanna. Whether or not Jay really was cheating, Bey was going to capitalize on that perception.īeyoncé came out with her second solo album B’Day just before her 25th birthday in 2006, and the first single was “ Deja Vu,” the reunion of the “ Crazy In Love” team of Bey and Jay-Z. Beyoncé has always been a master of making sure her music and her image are in conversation with one another, and her catalog is full of cheating songs. For pop stars, public perception is all that matters. With rumors like that, though, it doesn’t really matter if they’re true. At the time, the rumor was that Jay was cheating on Beyoncé with Rihanna - which, if true, would presumably wipe out any Beatle/Clapton/Fleetwood Mac configurations to become the most star-studded love triangle in the history of popular music. Jay had signed the young Barbadian phenom Rihanna, who has been in this column once and who will be back many, many times. Two years earlier, Jay was temporarily retired from rapping, and he was working as president of Def Jam Records. Beyoncé and Jay-Z didn’t get married until 2008. When Beyoncé released “Irreplaceable,” rumors were flying. Sadly, nobody told the subject of “Irreplaceable,” the longest-reigning #1 hit of Beyoncé’s entire career. ![]() But if you’re living that sponge life, then you should really do everything in your power to avoid finding everything you own packed up in a box to the left. ![]() If you’re a boxcar hobo or a practicing communist, then there’s not really any advice I can give you. More likely, you’re just permanently subsisting on the goodwill of the other people in your life. Maybe you’re a boxcar hobo, or maybe you’re in some sort of communal living situation where private property doesn’t exist. Somewhere, things have taken a rough turn. If all of your earthly possessions could theoretically fit into a single box, then you are probably not doing terribly well for yourself. In The Number Ones, I’m reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart’s beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. ![]() One disadvantage to this is that it becomes possible to have multiple unconnected swarms for a single torrent where some users can connect to one specific tracker while being unable to connect to another. This provides redundancy in the case that one tracker fails, the other trackers can continue to maintain the swarm for the torrent. Multi-tracker torrents contain multiple trackers in a single torrent file. (Other reasons are mostly related to damaged or hacked clients uploading corrupt data.) The reliability of trackers has been improved through two main innovations in the BitTorrent protocol. Trackers are the primary reason for a damaged BitTorrent "swarm". There are also experiments that legally sell content that is distributed over BitTorrent using a "secure" tracker system. Some countries also have fair use provisions in copyright law, which allow people the right to access and use certain classes of copyrighted material without breach of the law. For instance, Project Gutenberg regularly collects and publishes classical cultural works after their copyright has expired (which depends on the country in which the work was previously published). Works that are in the public domain and therefore not (or no longer) subject to copyright law can also be legally distributed. Wikipedia itself can be distributed via BitTorrent for the same reason. For example, the Creative Commons license family for free cultural works in text, audio, video or image format or software licenses for Free Software / Open-source software like the BSD License and others. Such licenses are often used in situations with large numbers of copyright holders, like in online communities. Dedicated copyright licenses-usable by anyone who wants to upload their own material-are available for that purpose. Copyright holders may choose to allow free distribution of their works. There are several circumstances under which it is legal to distribute copyrighted material or parts thereof. Main article: Limitations and exceptions to copyright The method for controlling registration used among many private trackers is an invitation system, in which active and contributing members are given the ability to grant a new user permission to register at the site, or a new user goes through an interview process. The Pirate Bay operated one of the most popular public trackers until disabling it in 2009 due to legal trouble, and thereafter offered only magnet links.Ī private tracker is a BitTorrent tracker that restricts use by requiring users to register with the site. Public or open trackers can be used by anyone by adding the tracker address to an existing torrent, or they can be used by any newly created torrent, like OpenBitTorrent. ![]() Public vs private trackers Public trackers Modern BitTorrent clients may implement a distributed hash table and the peer exchange protocol to discover peers without trackers however, trackers are still often included with torrents to improve the speed of peer discovery. Clients that have already begun downloading a file communicate with the tracker periodically to negotiate faster file transfer with new peers, and provide network performance statistics however, after the initial peer-to-peer file download is started, peer-to-peer communication can continue without the connection to a tracker. The "tracker" server keeps track of where file copies reside on peer machines, which ones are available at time of the client request, and helps coordinate efficient transmission and reassembly of the copied file. In peer-to-peer file sharing, a software client on an end-user PC requests a file, and portions of the requested file residing on peer machines are sent to the client, and then reassembled into a full copy of the requested file.

It was the Bears first title in program history after making its lone appearance before this season all the way back in 1948.Īfter all that fun, the Bears faithful are sure to want to relive this moment for years. Baylor earned that honor this season after romping through the postseason and capping it off with a win over previously unbeaten Gonzaga in the national championship. ![]() After an absolutely wild 2021 NCAA Tournament, there's just one team left standing as national champions. NFC Championship, 6:30 p.m.The season is over. ![]() However, if the Steelers pull off the upset, then the Ravens will be hosting Pittsburgh in the final game of the divisional round. If the Bills beat the Steelers on Monday, then this game will be Bills at Chiefs. Chiefs at Bills or Steelers at Ravens, 6:30 p.m.Detroit will be the home team here in what will be their first divisional round home game since January 1992. After going 30 years without hosting a playoff game, the Lions won't be waiting quite as long to host their next one. Two of those playoff meetings have come over the past four years with Kyle Shanahan's 49ers going 2-0 against Matt LaFleur and the Packers. This will mark the 10th time that these two teams have met in the postseason, which is a new NFL record. On the other hand, if the Steelers win, this game will be Texans at Chiefs. If the Bills beat the Steelers on Monday, then the Texans will be playing in Baltimore. The Eagles are stumbling into the playoffs, but they will head to Tampa Bay knowing that they beat the Buccaneers 25-11 at Raymond James Stadium back in Week 3. This game was originally supposed to be played on Sunday, but due to inclement weather in Buffalo, it was moved to Monday, which sets the stage for the NFL's first postseason doubleheader on a Monday since 1977. ET (CBS/stream on Paramount+ ( click here). This game will be played in Buffalo, where the Bills have been nearly unbeatable this year, going 7-1. The victory wasn't sealed until the Lions defense came up with a stop in the final minutes after the Rams had driven into Detroit's territory. (3) Lions 24-23 over (6) Rams. The Lions picked up their first playoff win in 32 years in a game that went down to the wire.It was a dominant performance by the Packers, who led 48-16 before the Cowboys were able to score two touchdowns in garbage time. Jordan Love finished the game with a passer rating of 157.2, which is tied for the fourth-highest ever in an NFL postseason game. In the biggest upset of the wild-card round, the Packers went into Dallas and handed a beatdown to the Cowboys. The Dolphins offense never got on track, but the cold weather wasn't a problem for a Chiefs offense that piled up more than 400 yards. (3) Chiefs 26-7 over (6) Dolphins. With a kickoff temperature of minus-4, this was the fourth-coldest game in NFL history and Miami was simply no match for the arctic elements.The Texans defense also came up big by putting the game away with two pick-sixes on Joe Flacco in the second half. Stroud, who threw for 274 yards while also tying the rookie record for TD passes in a playoff game with three. The Browns defense had no answers for C.J. (4) Texans 45-14 over (5) Browns. This was a beatdown from start to finish.That will kick off a Monday doubleheader with the Philadelphia Eagles visiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the nightcap.Īs for the rest of the 2024 NFL playoff schedule, you can see that below and you can watch Super Bowl LVIII on CBS and Nickelodeon and stream on Paramount+ (try 7 days free). The Steelers and Bills were supposed to play on Sunday in Buffalo, but the NFL made the decision to move that game to Monday due to inclement weather in Western New York. This year's playoffs will also feature an NFL rarity: A postponed game. The Texans quarterback threw three as the Texans rolled to a 45-14 win over the Cleveland Browns. Stroud tied the NFL rookie for most touchdown passes in a playoff game. In Kansas City, the Chiefs beat the Dolphins, 26-7, on Saturday night in a game that kicked off with a temperature of minus-4 degrees, which made it the fourth-coldest game in NFL history. Not only was it the Lions' first postseason win in 32 years, but it was also their first win ever in the wild-card round. The Lions ended the NFL's longest drought without a playoff win by beat the Rams 24-23. The Packers weren't the only NFC North to pick up a win on Sunday. Going into this year, seventh seeds had gone a combined 0-6 in the postseason.

The NFL playoffs are finally upon us and after four games, history has already been made. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ideas Ĭhinese government consistently holds the idea that pornography information is harmful, arguing that "disseminating pornographic information online severely harms the physical and mental health of minors, and seriously corrupts social ethos", pornography information is close to " spiritual pollution". Any film studio found in violation may have its license revoked. Directors, producers, and actors involved in pornographic films have been barred from competing in any film competitions. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's prohibition on pornography has been complete, and the government has shown no signs of reversing its decision. that explicitly portray sexual behavior or undisguisedly publicize pornographic materials", but made exception for those used for medical or artistic purposes. It defined obscene material as any "books, periodicals, movies, video-and audio-tapes, pictures, etc. Section Five of the Computer Information Network and Internet Security, Protection, and Management Regulations was the first time pornography was specifically targeted and banned in China's criminal law. In 1997, a sweeping wave of regulations aimed at restricting internet usage was enacted. Giant companies like Baidu, Tencent which provides Cloud storages and P2P offline download services ( Seedbox), will often change pornographic videos to "8 seconds educational videos" to educate users that the government is conducting a campaign to combat pornography and illegal activities, or to simply prevent users from downloading or uploading pornographic materials. Many get pornographic materials this way. In practice, enforcement is limited to punishing violators who spread pornographic materials amounting to more than 40 files on China's social media platforms, and punishment is rare for leeching and seeding pornographic materials via peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. In mainland China, there are no laws that specifically distinguish and punish child pornography, and the existing laws adopt a uniform standard of punishment for all pornography. Īccording to the Article 68 of Law of the PRC on Penalties for Administration of Public Security, it is illegal to produce, transport, duplicate, sell or lend pornographic materials including books, periodicals, pictures, movies and audio-video products, or disseminate pornographic information by making use of computer information networks, telephones or other means of communications, violators shall be detained for no less than 10 days but no more than 15 days and may, in addition, be fined no more than 3,000 yuan and if the circumstances are relatively minor, they shall be detained for no more than 5 days or be fined no more than 500 yuan simple possession is legal. Legality Īccording to the Section 9 of Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, it is illegal to produce and distribute pornographic material for profit, violators shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance and shall also be fined simple possession is legal. Copyright protection is usually strictly applied in the ROC, but pornography has been seen as an exception. The level of piracy of pornographic films in the ROC territories is high because authorities have not traditionally recognised their copyrights. In contrast, pornographic films can be legally traded in Taiwan and pornography is available via a number of routes, including DVD, television and the Internet. In this aspect the development of the nation's online porn industry reflects the overall development of China's Internet. PRC authorities have closed down many pornographic services in recent years, but an ongoing cat and mouse game between the two has led providers and users to find other ways to share adult content, both self-made and pirated from other pornographic film studios. Nationwide surveys between the years 20 revealed "more than 70 percent of men aged 18 to 29 said they had watched porn in the past year". Although pornography is illegal, it is available via the Internet. There is an ongoing campaign against "spiritual pollution", the term referencing the Chinese Communist party's Anti-Spiritual Pollution Campaign of 1983. In the PRC there are criminal laws which prohibit the production, dissemination, and selling of sexually explicit material, and anyone doing so may be sentenced to life imprisonment. In China, including the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC/Taiwan), the pornography laws and definitions vary depending on the governing authority.

![]() International Technology and Engineering Educators Association - Technology Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x). If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output. Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.įind and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate). Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Explain how understanding graphing will help with solving the challenge.Determine the domain and range of a set of points.Explain what a function is and how to tell if a set of coordinates is a function.Describe the naming convention for coordinates in the form (x, y).Explain the source of the name "Cartesian.".Describe the Cartesian plane and correctly label its parts.In journal questions 1-5 (in the Assessment section), students consider the importance of creating visual representations of data, as well as possible data sources.Īfter this lesson, students should be able to: For example, civil engineers must understand graphing to be able to determine certain areas of stresses and strain within the building plans for bridges and other structures. Graphing is essential to understanding the mathematics involved in all types of engineering. Many important engineering relationships are easily understood in the form of graphs. Then students learn about what it means for a relation to be a function and how to determine domain and range of a set of data points from the modeling game found in the associated activity. A brief refresher on the Cartesian plane includes how points are written in (x, y) format and oriented to the axes, and which directions are positive and negative. ![]() The distance between the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and the two cruise ship terminals in Seattle varies depending on the terminal.
